wednesday night funny.

I go to my Mother's house to pick my daughter up and she has a couple urgent things to tell me. It goes something like this:

Her: Mommy, Mommy... I won the spelling bee in school today!

Me: Did you?! Yay ... I'm proud of you boobie =]

Her: Yep, I did. So Mommy, since I won the spelling bee, can I get a Hannah Montana tattoo with a guitar and words around the guitar that says Hannah Montana Rocks??? Please Mommy?

Me: :-0

She's 5. Kids say the craziest things.

That's all folks.

P.S. - Interview went well. He is super, super cool. One of my best "newbie" interviews to date, not better than Hurricane Chris though. That boy was a complete fool, but I love it when they are laid back, funny and humble. Check him out on MySpace.

laws of attraction.

Your words or way of thinking can either work for you or against you. Words have a creative power, believe it or not. Listen to what you’re saying about yourself or your situation today, it'll determine a lot about you and what you think of yourself.

Brook had an entry on her blog relating to this topic a couple weeks ago. I agree with her perspective too. Yeah, I'm a realist when I need to be and yeah the universe talk sounds a bit crazy, especially when you're in the situation she was in (trying to get her car window fixed -- so clearly "meditating and channeling stars" would not have fixed her window, lol) but when it comes to other situations and life as a whole... the laws of attraction have lots of truth to them. You keep talking negative shit, then negative shit will continue to occur. Your thoughts dictate your life.

Think positive. Act as if you already have what it is you desire. Open your mind. I'm sure many of you have read The Secret. It's not even about that though, it's beyond that.

Ok, my metaphysics moment has concluded. Anywho, later this evening, I have an interview with this new R&B artist on Universal for this online music publication my friend runs. No, this is not "the" interview that I am excited about, that one hasn't happened yet. But this one is cool too. As long as I get to meet new people, talk to them, talk to their people (i.e. PR reps, managers, etc), and transcribe, I'm happy. Writing makes me happy. I'm not as prepared as I should be though. I have most of my questions ready, but my tape recorder went missing, and I haven't even listened to this dudes new single yet... smh. I did read his bio though, so I know enough to get me by. I'll shape up by the time I meet with him.

I'll post or link the article when it's published.

P.

fashion week.

...is less than a month away.

One of my favorite times of the year to attend events and network.

Feb. 13-20.

More details to come.

-_-

elephant in the room.

The elephant in the room is an expression for an obvious truth that is being ignored or goes unaddressed.

There is a certain area in my life that has a huge elephant ... it's almost hilarious. Like uhhh, how do you not see that??

Oh wait ... it is seen. It's just ignored.

Ha.

i agree.

beauty.

I think Dorothy Dandridge definitely paved the way for a lot of African American actresses, especially considering she was the first African American to be nominated for an Academy Award.

One of her quotes caught my eye.

"If I were white, I could capture the world."

I can only imagine how hard it was back then ... 'cuz it's still kinda hard today.

interesting.

I know, I know... I've been on my Obama ish hard ... but I just keep coming across these interesting images/vids that I like to share... but I think I'm done... I think.

Anyway, what do you think about the economic stimulus he's proposing ? Want it ? Think it'll help us?

dreams.

[picasso dreams]

dream (drēm):

• A series of images, ideas, emotions, and sensations occurring involuntarily in the mind during certain stages of sleep.


• A daydream; a reverie.


• A state of abstraction; a trance.


• A wild fancy or hope.


• A condition or achievement that is longed for; an aspiration.


• One that is exceptionally gratifying, excellent, or beautiful.
  

Everyone has had dreams so abnormal, complex or scary that you didn't know what to make of it. What did you do when that happened? Many people call a family member or friend for their opinion or explanation, while others go to the Dream Moods Dictionary.

What's the craziest [whatever you may deem crazy or out of the norm] dream you've ever had and what did you do after waking up realizing that it wasn't real?

More importantly, do you believe in your dreams?

Obviously, a dream I had this morning prompted this post.

Feel free to post anonymously.

funnies.

got this in an email...lol.

Obamalita????? Wow.

oh ... em ... gee...

"blackberry on my hip!"

the things people think of. ha.

pompous celebrations.

[Aniyah & Kianah]

Is it me or have children's activities become more and more grandiose as time goes by?


My 5 year old daughter was just invited to a 3-day sleepover ... ready for the venue?


The Marriott. Yeah. That's what I said. No boys allowed and parents are definitely welcomed if they so please. If not, then they have a 3 day break away from their brat.


Her best friend Aniyah [pictured above with her] is turning 6 in a few weeks and that's what's going down.

Funny thing is... I might be just as excited as the birthday girl...lmao.

message in disguise.

I

YOU.

get it.

Are we on the come up, or what? My girl Taraji P. Henson just received an Oscar nod for her performance in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button starring Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett. She’s up for Best Supporting Actress…must not be hard for a pimp anymore! Haha. Can’t wait to see what /who she wears =)

advice from bush twins.

Barbara and Jenna Bush wrote an open letter to Malia and Sasha Obama which was published in The Wall Street Journal. The letter has some advice for the new occupants. Some of the things the twins mentioned in the letter were:

• Surround yourself with loyal friends. They'll protect and calm you and join in on some of the fun, and appreciate the history.


• If you're traveling with your parents over Halloween, don't let it stop you from doing what you would normally do. Dress up in some imaginative, elaborate costume (if you are like us a pack of Juicy Fruit and a Vampiress) and trick-or-treat down the plane aisle.


• If you ever need a hug, go find Ramsey. If you want to talk football, look for Buddy. And, if you just need a smile, look for "Smiley."


• Slide down the banister of the solarium, go to T-ball games, have swimming parties, and play Sardines on the White House lawn. Have fun and enjoy your childhood in such a magical place to live and play.


• Four years goes by so fast, so absorb it all, enjoy it all!

Read the letter in its entirety here. That was very thoughtful of them.

President Bush also left a note for Barack Obama - a personal one which is tradition. It was tucked away in the top drawer of the president's desk in the Oval Office. The contents of the notes are private, but usually they include best wishes from the outgoing president to the incoming one.

say what?

** Posted for Sha**

Amidst all the Obamanation Domination, my ears were able to pick up this juicy tidbit:

Apparently, there was a settlement from some class action lawsuit filed against cosmetic companies (for price fixing) that starting today, they’re being forced to shell out $175 million dollars in FREE MAKEUP! That’s right, FREE 99; that’s according to News Channel 4. Where do you go to get yours? So glad you asked. Go to any: Macy’s, Saks Fifth Avenue, Nieman Marcus, Target and Dillards. Some of the brands included are Christian Dior, Givenchy, Chanel, Estee Lauder, Clinique and more! It’s first come; first serve ladies so jump on it!
